I've had moderate R A for a number of years. not being able to do much during a storm out of boredom and my wife being a diabetic I started a 4foot top bar stocked it with a swarm I never got stung...

I've had to clean my Dutch Oven last night to bake bread Thanks Willy gone to get flour from the mill....looks good ohhhh now a peach cobbler
If you have six hives and sell 500.00 worth of honey a year, yes they are a deduction but not a dependant

9-30-11 got a call from the water department swarm in meter box
My girls sealed the entrance holes i made and chose one of their own choosing where a board had curled making a small gap at the bottom of the tbh.
the one good thing is I'm surprized how docile they are and readily accepted going in to the TBH. They are busy,busy fixing the damage from the move sealing cracks,gaps in the wood and basicly told...
Mutts was tring to figure out how to tell the different straines of bees but with these being wild I just wondered. hopefully one day I'll find swarm of Sunkist! (I wish)

didn't think you were being one. i take two,three frames at a time and just drop them in a bucket. all i care about now is meeting my families usage and take what I need when we do if the hive has it...
I'm going with TBH for the simple reason that I'd be unable to lift a super full of honey. I like the fact of being able to remove a seven pound bar instead of a seventy pound box. If in the future I...
